Implementing Advanced RESTful Concerns with ASP.NET Core 3
In this course you'll learn how improve your API with paging, sorting, and data shaping. You'll also learn how to make your API more evolvable and robust with HATEOAS and advanced content negotiation, and how to deal with caching and concurrency.
What you'll learn
In this course, Implementing Advanced RESTful Concerns with ASP.NET Core 3, you'll learn how to implement advanced RESTful concerns with ASP.NET Core 3. Implementing these will lead to a better, more evolvable API. You'll learn how improve your API with paging, sorting, and data shaping. You'll also learn how to make your API more evolvable and robust with HATEOAS and advanced content negotiation, and how to deal with caching and concurrency. By the end this course, you’ll know all about REST constraints and you’ll end up with a level 3 RESTful API, which is the highest possible level of maturity.
